Description

This book aims to provide, in a readable and lively form, everything an I.T. Executive needs to know in order to "migrate" to next-generation technology for the era of open computing systems and interconnection. This includes system architecture, acquisition, implementation, and human orientation. There is a practical "how-to" approach throughout, with many examples and case studies included. Senior managers and executives, as well as more specialist computer users should find this book invaluable for turning open system theory into practice.
